“Rachel is the best!!!!!! Rachel is very special in that she truly enjoys taking care of pets. I will recommend her to every one that has a furry pet. I could go on an on!!!!”
“Chyna was absolutely amazing with our babies, Hampton and Willow! She cared for them overnight and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, loving, and made sure both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Hampton and Willow were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says everything. We are so grateful for Chyna and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Barrie took great care of Gracie while my wife and I were away on vacation. I appreciated that she updated us regularly with pictures/videos. She also asked questions and really tried to make sure Gracie was as comfortable and happy as possible.”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Riley took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. She is officially our go-to sitter, and we highly recommend her!”
“Amanda was an awesome dog sitter for our 8 year old Springer Spaniel, Truett! Even though he is high energy, Amanda took him on trails, walked him multiple times a day, played in the yard with him, and sent lots of cuddle pictures. Truett really enjoyed himself! We will be using Amanda again as a sitter for our boy!”
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Marilyn was so wonderful! Great communicator! Our dogs had so much fun and came back happy and healthy. You can tell she loves the dogs she keeps as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Opal was incredible and I will definitely use her services when going out of town again! My sweet dog is 11 years old and has very bad arthritis but she took the best care of him and loved him like he was her own, and he had a great time! It’s so relieving when you find someone who will love and take care of your pet just as you do at home and will keep you updated with photos and videos each day. 5-stars!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle’s dog boarding service! She took such wonderful care of Chyna, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Danielle kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Chyna came back happy, well-rested, and clearly loved on the entire time. Danielle treated her like family, and I’m beyond grateful for the safe, clean, and nurturing environment she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals—Danielle is it! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💕”
“When I needed someone to watch my dog at the last minute, Emily stepped up. She took good care of our Bailey, sending pictures regularly so we could keep tabs on her. Thankful for kind care when we needed it most!”
“I have left my dogs with Lauren twice and have been more than happy. Nothing is better than knowing my babies are getting love and care while I am away. One of my dogs is very selective with people and I can tell she really likes being with Lauren. Definitely the first sitter I contact when Im going out of town!”
“Ryan and his entire family treated my Tucker like he was their own! I felt reassured that my anxious chorkie was comfortable and loved! He was able to work on his social skills by hanging out with their dogs and I wither Ryan was caring for. This was wonderful for my sweet baby! Will be booking again!”
“Jasmine was the best dog sitter! I could ask for. She treated my dogs like they were her own. She continuously sent pictures to let me know my boys were okay. I can't recommend her enough and will 100% be using her again in the future!! Thanks Nick”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“Iris is great with communication and updating information for my girl. I was little worried before I sent my dog since she has some anxiety, but it turns out great experience with Iris. She is always available, let Sandi out every 2-3 hours, plus her family member and her dog are very nice and friendly. Definitely going back again!”
“David and his wife are the best! Upon meeting them we knew our dogs would be treated like family with them. We were gone for an entire week and left both dogs with David and knew they were there n good hands. I got pictures of them on the couch being spoiled all week long. Our pups are worn out, thanks David!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvan Springs
We’ve had our babies for three years, and the only two times we’ve trusted anyone to watch them has been Rachel. She has been absolutely wonderful both times! Knowing our babies are safe, cared for, and comfortable gives us such peace of mind. Rachel is reliable, kind, and great with them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
As dog parents for the first time, we didn't know what to except leaving Curie for a week! Rachel took care of everything. She always kept us updated and sent an occasional pic when we missed her. Surprisingly Curie came back calmer, more obedient, with less biting habit. I'll surely recommend her service. Thanks Rachel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sylvan Springs home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sylvan Springs.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sylvan Springs sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
